Graphic Designer (Healthcare / Life Sciences) | Boutique Life Sciences Agency
Location: US-Cherry Hill, NJ
Employment Type: Full-time
Benefits: Health Insurance Compensation, 401K program, Paid time off, and company holidays
Opportunity Overview
Breaking Data is looking for a Graphic Designer who moves confidently between creative concepting and meticulous layout execution. This role is ideal for a designer with both strong creative instincts and precise technical craft—someone who lives big ideas and the detailed craft that makes them real.
You’ll collaborate closely with our Creative Director, creative team, writers, and account strategy leads. You’ll design across multiple platforms—including print, digital/static assets, presentations, and training materials—with long-form and multi-page layout as a substantial component of the work.
This is not a pure production role and not a pure conceptual role. It’s a creative–production hybrid where excellence in layout, typography, accuracy, problem-solving, and visual storytelling is essential.
What You’ll Do
Creative + Visual Development
- Create clear, compelling, brand-aligned design across print, presentations, digital/static assets, and training materials.
- Translate complex scientific or strategic content into intuitive visual storytelling (layouts, diagrams, infographics, visual metaphors).
- Contribute to concept development, hero image exploration, and creative direction for campaigns and branded systems.
- Apply strong aesthetics and design judgment while working within healthcare brand guidelines.
Layout + Multi-Page Design (Core)
- Build clean, structured multi-page layouts using grids, master pages, styles, and best-practice editorial design techniques.
- Design with accuracy for long-form content including references, superscripts, fair balance, tables, and data.
- Maintain high-quality typography, spacing, consistency, and file organization across all versions and deliverables.
Production + Process
- Prepare and package print-ready and digital-ready files with correct specs.
- Review proofs (digital or print) for accuracy, consistency, and brand alignment.
- Work efficiently across multiple projects, applying smart workflows, shortcuts, and problem-solving skills.
Collaboration
- Partner closely with the Creative Director, visual design lead, writers, and strategy.
- Participate in brainstorms and critiques, offering thoughtful design solutions.
- Communicate clearly, take direction effectively, and contribute to a positive and fast-moving creative environment.
Who You Are
- You balance creativity with discipline.
- You love clarity, organization, and thoughtfully structured design.
- You’re energized by transforming dense information into something beautiful and intuitive.
- You catch mistakes before anyone else does.
- You appreciate feedback and work well within collaborative creative processes.
- You excel in a boutique, high-standards environment where your work has impact.
Qualifications
Design Expertise
- 3–5 years of professional design experience (agency experience strongly preferred).
- Expert proficiency in Adobe InDesign; strong skills in Illustrator and Photoshop.
- Demonstrated ability to produce polished multi-page layouts, clinical/long-form assets, and complex information design.
- Strong typography, hierarchy, spacing, and editorial/layout-building skills.
- Ability to adapt design systems across multiple platforms (print, presentation, digital/static).
- Proficiency in designing clean, well-structured layouts in PowerPoint, applying brand systems, and effectively organizing complex content across multi-slide decks.
Technical & Production Skills
- Understanding of pre-press, file setup, bleeds, dielines, exports, and clean packaging.
- Comfortable designing within compliance-driven environments (fair balance, references, dense copy).
- Ability to keep files highly organized and consistent across revisions.
Collaboration & Mindset
- Strong communicator with a collaborative, solutions-oriented approach.
- High attention to detail, accuracy, and consistency.
- Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
- Open to feedback and able to quickly translate creative direction.
Education & Portfolio

- Portfolio showcasing: Multi-page layout work / Complex copy/data-heavy design / Creative concepting or visual exploration
